VITAMINS

Where heading into the winter months with a bang and i've decided to do a Top 5 vitamin supplements piece. If your not a big vegetables and fruit kind of person well this might be interesting for you. As you know guys i'm a health care adviser and i feel this piece would be good to do especially for this time of year.. At the moment i'm taking Boots Vitamin C and Multibionta multivitamin. I have only been sick once this year and noticed it wasn't as bad as the last time. The vitamins i have been taking them for a good few months now because you need at least 2 to 3 months for them to start kicking in. So lets get cracking here is my first pick of the bunch :)).

Vitamin C- i take one effervescent tablet i pop it in a glass of water and that is just once a day. This helps maintain a healthy immune system. Its a important antioxidant which is only stored in the body in small amounts so a regular intake is important. The other benefits for taking this is cardiovascular disease,prenatal health problems, eye disease and even skin wrinkling. There available in tablets,chewable and the effervescent.

Echinacea-its used to fight infections especially the common cold and other upper respiratory infections. If you have a cold your better of using it during your cold to reduce the symptoms. Its also use to help with urinary tract infections,yeast infections,genital herpes,gum disease and tonsillitis. These are available in tablets and liquid.

Multivitamins-again this is for healthy immune system and provide antioxidant protection. Other benefits for taking this are improve physical and mental conditions,prevent deficiency and reduce stress. They are available in tablets.

Zinc-again is used to help protect the immune system treating the common cold and recurrent ear infections and preventing lower respiratory infections. Its also used for malaria and other disease caused by parasites. Available in tablets this is also put together with Vitamin C. 

Omega 3-this acid helps to fight depression,keeps skin glowing and soft and aid in cardiovascular health. All of these benefits are particularly useful in winter. In food wise this is available in Salmon and nuts (which i'm eating a small bag of now). This is available in liquid,tablets and chewable.

Guys you must always double check that you are able to take vitamins because people on medication might start taking them not realising they can't. Hopefully this is a little help to you beauties on choosing vitamins to take. Most of these aren't dear either Boots do a 3 for 2 while Tesco have them on half price. Lidl and Aldi all have their own selection as well.
